Former NFL wide receiver David Boston was arrested Wednesday after getting into a violent altercation the night before with a woman in Boca Raton, Fla., according to ABC 25 in West Palm Beach. He was charged with aggravated battery.

Per the report, the 33-year-old punched a woman in the head twice. She suffered a large gash, requiring 10 stitches.
